00:00:49,230 --> 00:00:54,112
We will also be getting on board the gripping

blinders actor Joe Cole and checking out season

12
00:01:11,940 --> 00:01:17,958

What else is in the news Hannah? Well, a Netflix

13
00:01:18,179 --> 00:01:23,522
documentary will chart take that's highs and
lows. Oh, I love this already. Over more than

14
00:01:23,602 --> 00:01:28,506
three decades in the music business. I look
forward to hearing your anecdotes about take

15
00:01:28,546 --> 00:01:38,953
that from your pop journalism days. We're starting
on Sky Atlantic and Now TV with a new drama

16
00:01:38,993 --> 00:01:45,817
series that arrives on Thursday, the 19th of
September. It's called The Penguin. And here's

17
00:01:45,857 --> 00:01:52,325
a clip. The world ain't set up for the honest
man to succeed. That should be the American

18
00:01:52,365 --> 00:01:59,753
dream right there. An old beautiful story with
a happy ending. That ain't the way the world

19
00:01:59,793 --> 00:02:02,845
works. America's a hustle.

20
00:02:11,090 --> 00:02:20,518
So if you watched the 2022 film The Batman,
you might have been unaware as I was until

21
00:02:20,538 --> 00:02:28,064
the end credits rolled that you'd just seen
Colin Farrell playing the penguin because he

22
00:02:28,124 --> 00:02:37,011
was unrecognisable and he's reprising that role
in this new series from the DC universe. So

23
00:02:37,031 --> 00:02:43,847
he's got a lot of prosthetics and he's got...
a fat suit and a gold tooth and a scar. He

24
00:02:43,867 --> 00:02:50,890
looks great and he is superb in this. So yes,
I'm sure most people will be familiar with

25
00:02:50,910 --> 00:02:57,093
the fact that the penguin is one of the villains
in the Batman's world, being played over the

26
00:02:57,133 --> 00:03:00,035
years by various people including Burgess

27
00:03:07,214 --> 00:03:12,796
staring out over Gotham City. Well this new
series starts with the Penguin doing the same

28
00:03:12,836 --> 00:03:20,179
thing. It's really good, but it's very much
like a classic kind of mafia crime drama really.

29
00:03:20,579 --> 00:03:25,381
It certainly doesn't start off in what you would
consider familiar sort of Batman territory.

30
00:03:25,561 --> 00:03:32,104
I guess it's kind of doing for the Penguin what
the Joaquin Phoenix version of the Joker did

31
00:03:32,144 --> 00:03:38,678
for that character. Anyway, I'm rambling on.
So we're picking up from where the Batman left

32
00:03:38,779 --> 00:03:47,143
off, which was the Riddler had sort of caused
a big flood in Gotham City and a crime kingpin

33
00:03:47,944 --> 00:03:54,287
has died. So there's a, yes, there's a power
vacuum. Classic situation of course. And this

34
00:03:54,447 --> 00:03:58,830
version of the Penguin, well he kind of looks
like a sort of, he looks like a mobster basically.

35
00:03:59,410 --> 00:04:05,433
He's got that familiar Penguin waddle because
he has a sort of deformed foot, which we see.

36
00:04:06,046 --> 00:04:12,827
and he is the proprietor of a nightclub, but
he's heavily involved in the underworld, basically,

37
00:04:13,147 --> 00:04:19,089
and drug dealing and that kind of thing. It
starts off with a kind of a showdown between

38
00:04:19,169 --> 00:04:27,211
himself and the son of the deceased crime kingpin
who is kind of taking over his empire. It's

39
00:04:27,231 --> 00:04:32,473
a great sequence, and I like the fact it's quite
bold in that it just lets the two men sit opposite

40
00:04:32,513 --> 00:04:39,301
each other and talk for a while. is great to
see. And then he kind of falls in with this

41
00:04:39,421 --> 00:04:46,187
young delinquent who's trying to nick the wheels
from his Maserati. So they go on a kind of

42
00:04:46,267 --> 00:04:51,672
journey into the city's underbelly, which is
really well done. And then later on, we're

43
00:04:51,712 --> 00:04:59,279
going to meet the daughter of the deceased mobster.
She's called Sophia, aka Hangman. She's played

44
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:05,519
by Christian Malotti, who's very kind of wide-eyed.
Look. and she's been released from Arkham Asylum.

45
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:11,301
So yes, these two are going to meet and... I'm
not going to say too much more about it because

46
00:05:11,421 --> 00:05:17,384
it's much more fun just to let it unfold, but
I think it is really, really good. Farrell

47
00:05:17,504 --> 00:05:23,226
is fantastic. The Penguin, this version of the
Penguin is a fascinating character. He's incredibly

48
00:05:23,286 --> 00:05:29,209
violent and ruthless, but there's also a slightly
kind of brooding, almost kind of melancholy

49
00:05:29,789 --> 00:05:34,828
side to him as well. So... Yeah, superb. I absolutely
loved it. You don't have to be a Batman fan

50
00:05:34,948 --> 00:05:38,730
at all to enjoy this. You don't even really
need to know anything about the Batman universe.

51
00:05:39,290 --> 00:05:43,613
It is a one. What did you think, Hannah? Well,
I'm a massive fan of Colin Farrell anyway,

52
00:05:43,653 --> 00:05:51,578
so I'm there all the way. I'm not a massive
Batman fan. I've watched them. You know, I've

53
00:05:51,658 --> 00:05:56,121
kind of my brother was into it when we were
growing up. But you're right. You don't have

54
00:05:56,161 --> 00:06:01,356
to. have seen everything before and know everything
about it at all because this is kind of standalone.

55
00:06:01,676 --> 00:06:04,858
But it's just so different. And I think that's
the different shifts. If you haven't seen anything

56
00:06:04,898 --> 00:06:10,561
before, I suppose you wouldn't understand like
you were explaining the kind of the difference

57
00:06:10,601 --> 00:06:15,764
between the penguin as we know the penguin versus
the penguin, you know, that we're faced with

58
00:06:15,804 --> 00:06:24,529
here. Four hours worth of makeup, I think Colin
Farrell said of prosthetics to make him look

59
00:06:24,609 --> 00:06:34,067
like he does. and it's just, it's really, it's
gritty, it's pretty violent in places and as

60
00:06:34,107 --> 00:06:40,812
you say the penguin is completely ruthless but
I quite like it when we look at the underdog

61
00:06:40,832 --> 00:06:45,856
sometimes and then make them like a really big
character and that's exactly what has happened

62
00:06:45,896 --> 00:06:50,859
here so it's completely action-packed. I think
that even if you're like me and not massively

63
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:57,548
into this franchise you'll still really enjoy
it. because it's pacey and exciting. Most importantly,

64
00:06:57,928 --> 00:07:05,734
it's got Colin Farrell. Okay, we're gonna move
across to prime video for another new drama

65
00:07:05,774 --> 00:07:12,999
series, also arriving on Thursday, the 19th
of September. It's called A Very Royal Scandal,

66
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:19,044
and here's a clip. Emily Maitlis, BBC. I've
been warned about you.

67
00:07:22,530 --> 00:07:26,416
bit of a reputation. Well for you I'll try and
behave.

68
00:07:29,738 --> 00:07:39,383
I'm sure you will. Yeah, we really are making
hay while the sun shines here, aren't we? Because

69
00:07:39,403 --> 00:07:44,946
of course you will remember that there was a
scoop earlier in the year which we reviewed

70
00:07:45,226 --> 00:07:53,090
and the brilliant Gillian Anderson was in that
and it was great. We both really enjoyed it

71
00:07:53,250 --> 00:08:01,254
and it did really, really well. So I suppose
this is just kind of... taking this on to a

72
00:08:01,294 --> 00:08:08,018
degree. So there's three episodes in this. So
this is all focused around that fateful day,

73
00:08:08,379 --> 00:08:14,282
evening that Emily Magless interviewed the now
infamous Prince Andrew interview for BBC Two's

74
00:08:14,422 --> 00:08:19,565
Newsnight. 2019 that was, I can't believe it
was quite that long ago, but it was, you know,

75
00:08:19,645 --> 00:08:23,827
it was jaw-dropping wasn't it? Some of the stuff
that was said, it was quite unbelievable, still

76
00:08:23,847 --> 00:08:29,607
being spoken about now and living relatively
close to Waking often comes up in conversation

77
00:08:29,647 --> 00:08:39,834
because the man doesn't sweat remember anyway
I digress but this delves deeper into it so

78
00:08:41,214 --> 00:08:47,098
this looks at the events leading up to the interview
the aftermath of it kind of the full story

79
00:08:47,138 --> 00:08:54,603
and what it was really like now how accurate
that is you know sure but it's probably a bit

80
00:08:54,624 --> 00:09:00,379
like the crown I want to believe it all And
it's, I suppose what you're seeing is, is that

81
00:09:00,579 --> 00:09:06,862
the, the way in which you have, the lengths
she had to go to, to secure an interview correctly,

82
00:09:06,922 --> 00:09:11,183
properly, to make sure this happened. And I
think that everybody probably even Emily Mayless

83
00:09:11,203 --> 00:09:17,126
was relatively surprised that this, that this
happened, that this was agreed to, because

84
00:09:17,166 --> 00:09:22,528
it does seem an odd thing to, for him to have
done or for his advisors to have agreed to,

85
00:09:22,568 --> 00:09:30,536
or perhaps they didn't and he did it anyway.
So yeah, you see the whole kind of lead up,

86
00:09:30,716 --> 00:09:36,620
the aftermath of it, and you see the people
within it and how that, and the cogs and how

87
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:41,782
that works too. So it's kind of the behind the
scenes, I suppose, of Scoop, which we saw as

88
00:09:41,822 --> 00:09:47,565
the main thing. This is kind of a behind the
scenes element. Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson

89
00:09:47,585 --> 00:09:54,029
step into these roles. So Michael Sheen, Andrew,
Ruth Wilson, Emily Maitlis, she's also executive

90
00:09:54,049 --> 00:09:57,874
producer of the show. So there's got a lot of
skin in the game here and it has to be right.

91
00:09:58,835 --> 00:10:03,936
People will enjoy it. It's fascinating. It just
is fascinating. There is something fascinating

92
00:10:04,276 --> 00:10:10,038
about when the wheels come off, I think, and
seeing something so raw and so awful and so

93
00:10:10,138 --> 00:10:15,099
ugly and something that he's still having to
live down today. And also the horrors around

94
00:10:15,119 --> 00:10:22,881
this story too. So, you know, really this all
started in 2010, didn't it? When, you know,

95
00:10:24,042 --> 00:10:29,703
Well, I did in this series where, you know,
he's made aware of the allegations surrounding

96
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:36,125
Epstein and he tries to back them away and he
kind of always has done. And I think that's

97
00:10:36,145 --> 00:10:40,546
fascinating too, because we've lost a part of
that history, if you like. This takes us right

98
00:10:40,586 --> 00:10:45,667
back. I think all of us in our minds is just
that interview, if you like. So I think this

99
00:10:45,687 --> 00:10:52,369
puts meat on the bones, really. Fascinating.
Definitely want to watch. I agree. It is unfortunate

100
00:10:52,429 --> 00:10:59,141
for them that they are this is the second adaptation
to come out, but they always knew that they

101
00:10:59,161 --> 00:11:08,328
were going to be second. So I would say Rufus
fuel in scoop. I think he very much looks like

102
00:11:08,528 --> 00:11:14,492
Prince Andrew. And obviously, they'd use prosthetics.
Whereas Gillian Anderson, I kind of we felt

103
00:11:14,512 --> 00:11:19,315
she was doing a bit of her Margaret Thatcher.
And she was doing Emily Maitlis. So I think

104
00:11:19,335 --> 00:11:24,939
in this, Michael Sheen, yeah, he doesn't particularly
look like Prince Andrew, but from seeing him

105
00:11:24,979 --> 00:11:32,003
play people like Tony Blair, Brian Clough, he
can just get under the skin of real life people

106
00:11:32,023 --> 00:11:38,226
that he's portraying and he's brilliant. And
his Andrew is, you know, as you expect, very

107
00:11:38,346 --> 00:11:45,930
arrogant, very rude. Like he tells all of his
sort of minions to F off all the time. And

108
00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:53,014
we see Fergie, we see his daughters. And yes,
you're right. So it's there's much more. background.

109
00:11:53,674 --> 00:12:01,360
And interestingly, because the things that you
mentioned that made all the headlines in the

110
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:07,464
interview about the not sweating and the pizza
express, they show in this that they'd finished

111
00:12:07,504 --> 00:12:10,786
the interview. I mean, this is Maitlis is sort
of authorised version of this. So we I think

112
00:12:10,806 --> 00:12:16,130
we can, it's pretty, you know, going to be true
to what happened. They finished the interview.

113
00:12:16,750 --> 00:12:23,322
And then Andrew remembers that he hasn't given
his kind of alibis, which are these two weird

114
00:12:23,982 --> 00:12:30,066
claims. And so he says, oh, can you ask me about
these two things? Because we didn't touch on

115
00:12:30,086 --> 00:12:37,110
them. And so and also it does go into more detail
about how on earth was this terrible decision

116
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:42,953
to give this interview ever made. And it does
explain that. So yeah, I would say don't feel

117
00:12:42,993 --> 00:12:46,875
like, oh, I've kind of seen the drama about
this already, so I won't bother because it's

118
00:12:47,075 --> 00:12:48,196
it really is very, very good.

119
00:12:51,490 --> 00:12:58,752
BBC One and BBC iPlayer for yet another new
drama series, Hannah They Keep Coming, which

120
00:12:58,852 --> 00:13:07,876
arrives on Sunday and Monday of next week. It's
called Night Sleeper. And here's a clip. Hello,

121
00:13:07,896 --> 00:13:11,177
I'm on a train to Glasgow to London. Night Sleeper
service.

122
00:13:14,198 --> 00:13:19,081
We may have a problem. We'll be in control remotely.
There's been a hack check-in. Hijacks are so

123
00:13:19,101 --> 00:13:28,787
20th century. This train is now a guided missile.
One of the passengers may be working with the

124
00:13:28,867 --> 00:13:37,533
hackers. Don't trust anyone. This is very exciting.
As the title suggests, it's set aboard a train.

125
00:13:37,613 --> 00:13:43,497
An overnight train, traveling from Glasgow to
London, haven't been on a sleeper train for

126
00:13:43,517 --> 00:13:51,932
a while. It stars Joe Cole, who you may know
from Peaky Blinders, and it's set in real time,

127
00:13:52,653 --> 00:13:59,378
which is quite interesting. It's a six-parter.
Anyway, we start off in thrilling fashion.

128
00:13:59,518 --> 00:14:08,386
So the train is at the station. It's about to
set off from Glasgow to London, and a thief

129
00:14:08,466 --> 00:14:17,332
snatches a laptop bag from a woman on the platform.
and off-duty cop Joe, played by Joe Cole. He's

130
00:14:17,352 --> 00:14:22,255
getting the train, but he swings into action
and chases this guy, and he's trying to retrieve

131
00:14:22,275 --> 00:14:28,679
the laptop bag, and it's a great chase sequence.
It's brilliantly executed, so you're jumping

132
00:14:28,719 --> 00:14:34,442
straight into the action, and it's really well
done. And they used this set, which had, I

133
00:14:35,123 --> 00:14:39,245
think, quite a few train carriages on it, so
it looks very, must have been incredibly difficult

134
00:14:39,285 --> 00:14:44,539
to film. But all the classic things that you
want in a chase is obstacles. You've got a

135
00:14:44,599 --> 00:14:50,942
pensioner, a baby in a pushchair, a disabled
person, a drinks trolley, someone carrying

136
00:14:50,982 --> 00:14:57,485
a tray. So it's really well done and it's fast
and furious. And then there's a big twist.

137
00:14:57,845 --> 00:15:04,328
Yes. So, I mean, the trailer gives away the
fact that basically someone has, has hijacked

138
00:15:04,748 --> 00:15:11,774
the train, but they've done it remotely. So
it's a cyber attack basically. And so Joe is

139
00:15:11,854 --> 00:15:19,897
on board the train and then you've got Alexandra
Roach from No Offence. She is playing the technical

140
00:15:19,917 --> 00:15:26,159
director of the National Cyber Security Centre,
Abby. So between the two of them, it's a bit

141
00:15:26,199 --> 00:15:30,880
like speed when you know there's a bomb on the
bus and it's out of control. It got a bit of

142
00:15:30,940 --> 00:15:37,130
hijack in it, the Idris Elba series. So I loved
it. I really liked Jo Cole. I love Alexandra

143
00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:41,832
Roach. She's terrific. So yeah, it's an absolute
thrill ride from start to finish. What do you

144
00:15:41,852 --> 00:15:47,935
think Hannah? Yeah, really good. So, so fast
paced. And as you say, really probably quite

145
00:15:48,335 --> 00:15:54,538
hard to execute actually, because, yeah, cause
it's just so busy, isn't it? And it's in real

146
00:15:54,578 --> 00:15:59,320
time. I always love the fact that when actors
play their same name in it, it must be so much

147
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,981
easier, mustn't it? Jo playing Jo. Why I always
think that. Must be so, why don't they do that

148
00:16:03,021 --> 00:16:09,681
all the time? Anyway, I digress again. I just,
like you say, I absolutely love the fact that

149
00:16:09,841 --> 00:16:16,025
every sort of thing that could get in their
way does, but I also love the sort of traitor's

150
00:16:16,045 --> 00:16:22,209
vibe about it, which is who can you trust on
that train? You know, who, because there's

151
00:16:22,309 --> 00:16:27,612
more at play here and so who can they actually
trust or who can he actually trust? Who is

152
00:16:28,092 --> 00:16:32,339
the decent one who's not? What turns out to
be something... sort of seemingly not small

153
00:16:32,379 --> 00:16:39,044
but a petty crime, I suppose, turns into something
much, much bigger. So I think it's really,

154
00:16:39,104 --> 00:16:43,628
it's really exciting. Like I always say this,
but it's not something that you can get on

155
00:16:43,668 --> 00:16:48,232
and do the dinner with. You need to sit down
with a glass of wine and watch this. You just

156
00:16:48,272 --> 00:16:53,716
got to watch it because there's no, you'll,
the dinner will burn. You'll just get too involved.

157
00:16:53,756 --> 00:16:59,661
Well after all that high stakes drama, Hannah,
we're going to finish with a bit of comedy.

158
00:17:00,554 --> 00:17:08,581
arriving on Paramount Plus on Friday the 20th
of September. It's season two of the rebooted

159
00:17:09,001 --> 00:17:14,786
Frasier. And here's a clip. Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury, welcome back to the room in which

160
00:17:14,946 --> 00:17:20,031
I changed your lives forever. Does it seem like
he's daring up for something? Yep, gonna be

161
00:17:20,231 --> 00:17:26,216
late. Oh, hey dad, I got a question about punctuation.
Ooh, no, stay on task.

162
00:17:29,334 --> 00:17:38,682
we bought a ham an 18 pound acorn fed harmon
Iberico oh wow this is better than sad Yeah,

163
00:17:38,702 --> 00:17:43,765
it doesn't seem that long ago that we reviewed
season one actually, so it must have been a

164
00:17:43,805 --> 00:17:49,949
massive hit, of course it was. For season two
now to be out, there are ten episodes in this

165
00:17:50,149 --> 00:17:58,635
outing. First two dropping and then released
weekly like they often do on Paramount+. And

166
00:17:58,935 --> 00:18:03,398
it does what it says on the tin, if you like,
if you like Frasier you'll like this too. So

167
00:18:03,658 --> 00:18:10,230
you've got the dynamic between obviously Frasier
played by Kelsey Grammer and Nicholas Lynn

168
00:18:10,270 --> 00:18:17,912
Hurst, which I think is really fun. In the first
season, I kind of watched it and I thought,

169
00:18:18,112 --> 00:18:21,493
oh, I don't know how I feel about this. It kind
of feels like a weird one, but it actually

170
00:18:21,533 --> 00:18:26,434
totally, totally works. And they kind of cover
a lot of ground in here because sort of later

171
00:18:26,514 --> 00:18:30,435
on in the series, you get Frasier going and
reuniting with a lot of his former colleagues

172
00:18:30,455 --> 00:18:37,577
at the Seattle radio station. You see him hanging
out there and I think it's got that real nostalgic

173
00:18:37,617 --> 00:18:42,193
moment. I was reading the other day that nostalgia
at the moment apparently is a big thing. People

174
00:18:42,253 --> 00:18:47,397
love looking back. So perhaps they've hit on
it here because that's exactly what this probably

175
00:18:47,697 --> 00:18:53,021
should be doing, isn't it, really kind of slightly
naval gazing to a degree whilst also tracking

176
00:18:53,061 --> 00:19:01,508
forward, which they absolutely do here. There's
the kind of the whole dynamic between Frasier

177
00:19:01,528 --> 00:19:06,272
and Freddie though. And the fact that in the
first season, of course, he announced that

178
00:19:06,292 --> 00:19:11,027
he was relocating to Boston. becoming a son's
neighbour. You've got the whole kind of dynamic

179
00:19:11,047 --> 00:19:15,669
there. So the thing with Frasier is that it's
funny, but there's also kind of other elements

180
00:19:15,709 --> 00:19:19,631
to it as well. I mean, it's not particularly
deep, I don't think, but it's certainly got

181
00:19:19,671 --> 00:19:25,913
other elements that kind of keep you interested.
There's a Valentine's Day episode. That'll

182
00:19:25,933 --> 00:19:30,195
be interesting, a bit of romance, perhaps for
some of these characters throughout the season.

183
00:19:30,976 --> 00:19:37,631
Shall we tease that? And it... Do you know what,
as I say, if you like Frasier or like this,

184
00:19:37,651 --> 00:19:42,054
but I do think there's an element of you having,
I do think you do need to go back with this.

185
00:19:42,094 --> 00:19:47,418
It's not one that you just come into. I think
you do need to see some of these episodes previously

186
00:19:47,458 --> 00:19:53,463
to kind of understand the background. Otherwise
it probably all feels a little bit odd diving

187
00:19:53,503 --> 00:19:58,546
in at this point. You're a big fan though, aren't
you, Frasier? I'm a big fan of the original

188
00:19:58,586 --> 00:20:03,906
Frasier, which was huge hit. And I mean, it's
still to this day running. Channel 4 isn't

189
00:20:03,926 --> 00:20:08,847
it in the mornings and I still watch it. The
problem they had, I feel, is that they lost

190
00:20:09,087 --> 00:20:15,849
so many great characters from the first season.
So Martin Crane, obviously the actor who played

191
00:20:15,909 --> 00:20:23,711
him, John Mahoney passed away, Niles played
by David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leaves as Daphne,

192
00:20:24,672 --> 00:20:32,966
all of the radio station crew, great characters
and I hate to say it but I don't think the

193
00:20:33,046 --> 00:20:39,491
new characters apart, you know, Nicholas Lintert
is quite good value as a university lecturer

194
00:20:39,631 --> 00:20:46,035
and friend of Frazier's, but I don't think all
of the new characters are that interesting.

195
00:20:46,616 --> 00:20:52,160
So Freddie, for instance, the son played by
British actor Jack Cutmore Scott, who I was

196
00:20:52,180 --> 00:20:57,103
lucky enough to have a quick chat to about this
season. I kind of feel like he's very much

197
00:20:57,123 --> 00:21:03,500
playing the straight man in this. So episode
one. Frazier and Alan by Anabarra Koham. So

198
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,823
there's lots of fun and games around that. So
if you, yeah, I think if you like Frazier,

199
00:21:07,843 --> 00:21:12,986
I mean Kelsey Grammer, absolute master of comic
timing. Lindhurst is great in this. I think

200
00:21:13,006 --> 00:21:17,329
the two of them work very well together, but
I can see why they've decided, okay, let's

201
00:21:17,509 --> 00:21:22,713
bring back, because they brought back Roz at
the end of season one, Perry Gilpin, and so

202
00:21:22,733 --> 00:21:27,016
we're going to see some more familiar faces,
and I think that's a good idea. But yeah, if

203
00:21:27,036 --> 00:21:31,727
you like the original Frazier, I think you will
enjoy this. But it is slightly different, but

204
00:21:31,787 --> 00:21:36,670
still worth a look, I think. Well, we've got
to that time already, Hannah, where we find

205
00:21:36,750 --> 00:21:41,934
out what you've been binge watching. Four in
a bed, which Amazon Prime hang out there a

206
00:21:41,954 --> 00:21:48,539
fair amount, Prime Video, and where all the
people have bed and breakfast and they go and

207
00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:52,462
basically open their bed and breakfast to other
people, which is always very interesting and

208
00:21:52,502 --> 00:21:57,385
people are always incredibly harsh. It's all
about the quality of the sausage. It's true.

209
00:21:58,062 --> 00:22:06,305
I have been checking out Love Rats documentary
series on Netflix, which is about people who

210
00:22:06,365 --> 00:22:13,248
kind of pull off sort of romance scams basically.
So the first one I watched was this poor lady

211
00:22:13,268 --> 00:22:21,272
from Scotland who in her 50s who went to Sri
Lanka was romanced by a young guy in his 20s,

212
00:22:22,212 --> 00:22:27,982
ended up marrying him and moving there and you
can kind of guess. the rest I'm sure. Now we've

213
00:22:28,002 --> 00:22:34,324
just got time to look ahead to next week's offerings.
So what is on the binge watch menu, Hannah?

214
00:22:34,544 --> 00:22:40,026
Sam Neill and Annette Benning star in Apple's
Never Fall, a thriller about the disappearance

215
00:22:40,106 --> 00:22:46,288
of a family matriarch on BBC iPlayer. And Will
Ferrell takes a road trip with his recently

216
00:22:46,348 --> 00:22:52,229
transitioned close friend in the Netflix documentary
Will and Harper. So we look forward to those.

217
00:22:52,766 --> 00:22:55,709
and much, much more, but in the meantime, listeners.
